I would like to find a birth recording for 1825, where would I write to, call, or if there is someway to do it on line.

Pennsylvania did not require the reporting of deaths until 1906. Therefore, no death certificates before then. If you are looking simply to document a death there are other sources: the courthouse in Erie has some death records 1892-1906. The Erie Society for Genealogical Research has an index to births, marriages and deaths printed in Erie newspapers 1822-1906. Another source is church records. Wills and other estate papers can offer clues. If simple documentation is what you want, respond to the list. I am sure other people can offer more ideas.
